Worship & Music Studies Program

Program Details

The Worship and Music Studies program prepares worship leaders for a variety of ministries within the total program of the Church. The academic program consists of general education; Christian ministry studies; studies of worship/music philosophy, technique, history, and theory; and vocal and instrumental performance. Experiential learning is woven throughout the degree program, with both formal and non-formal active learning opportunities. As the Apostle Paul exhorts in Colossians 3:16, this program includes venues for the student’s spiritual and professional growth and development that will transpire in leading others into a growing relationship with Christ through worship opportunities.

The student who successfully completes this program of study will be able to:

Demonstrate Christian character in personal and ministry relationships

Communicate a philosophy of worship that is biblical and sensitive to changing styles and valued traditions

Demonstrate competence in planning and leading worship services

Demonstrate competence in preparing vocalists and instrumentalists for worship leading
